A standing ovation for me and @drdebhoury.bsky.social during a celebration of C. Everett Koop’s legacy! His moral courage should inspire all of us in #PublicHealth and #Medicine. Speaking truth to power and sticking to the science can change the world!

Beyond the false anti-vaccine talking points, beyond peddling Wakefield-level bullshit over MMR, telling pregnant women with a headache to “tough it out” instead of taking Tylenol or they’ll give their baby autism is something else. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Trump, without any evidence, tries to link Tylenol and autism

A 2024 study in JAMA, in which researchers analyzed data from 2.5 million children in Sweden, found no association between prenatal acetaminophen use and autism.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

Tylenol doesn’t cause autism.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.

Pam Bondi knew.

Kash Patel knew.

Emil Bove knew.

And they made the investigation go away.

A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Newborn lives are on the line. The hepatitis B birth dose is safe, effective, and lifesaving yet it’s under attack at ACIP this week. Weakening this policy would be a grave mistake.

Current ACIP committee demonstrated today they lack scientific literacy and basic vaccine knowledge. They peddled conspiracy theories and their slides and images were poorly done and unprofessional. Appalling really.

Buckle up. We are going to see more of this type of thing. Infants hospitalized with vaccine preventable diseases. It’s a travesty

In response to the dismantling of the CDC, California, Oregon, and Washington have launched the West Coast Health Alliance, which will make their own science-based vaccine guidelines, and make sure vaccines are accessible to everyone.

California, Oregon, and Washington to launch new West Coast Health Alliance to uphold scientific integrity in public health as Trump destroys CDC’s credibility

This is F’ing insane. I’m sorry for all the reasonable people who live there and immunocompromised kids www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
